Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lake Tapps
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 7.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Pierce County average of 5.5 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
